cHEISTIINITY TfRSrS ISLIM

The most judicial word yet spoken on the
recently mootcd question Of the comparative
influence Of Christianity and Islam in Africa
is uttered by Mr. X. BosWorh Smith in "Thc
Nineteenth Century, for December Person
ally acquainted as ne is with the d>pulant- on
either side, and qualified as he is by travel and
study to speak with authority he holds the
scales with far stcadlcr hand than did
Canon Isaac Taylor in his much-diScu>scd
essay. lie agrees with Canon Taylor in ac-
knowlcdging the many good effects wrought by
Islam in It's expansive sweep through the IN
terror, saying that before ii some Of the grosScr
habits Of savage life, such as cannbalism
human sacrifices and burial Of living infants.
disappear at once Moslcm negroes no longer
go naked, comply even with the rules cnioiming
additions and have the benefit Of elementary
schools If for no other purpose than learning
the Koran. They are governed by a written
code Of law in place Of the arbitrary caprice
of Il tribal chief, are instructed in some of the
arts Of civilized life and are immensely stimuli
lated in all forms Of trade. There is at least
tendency in AIohammcdanism To- restrict IN
temperance, and, great as are its shortcomings
III this respect, it is purity itself compared
with the dcbauchlng influence Of European
traders IN rum who dcsoatc the West Coast.
Perhaps most important Of all, the native be-
lief in witchcraft, which, Mr.. Smith says,
causes almost as much suffering and actual
loss Of life as the slave trade itself is greatly
mitigatcd and left little more harmful than
a supcrstitious regard for amulcts and charms.
Over against this credit side Of the account
are to be set down great and undoubtcd evils,
parity tolerated, partly directly created by Is
lam. FIRST stands the slave trade, Mr. Smith
presses homo to the MOhammcdans the rcspon-
sibility for the enOrmitics Of this, and confcsscs
that he sees no hope Of reform on their part.
Tho only relieving feature Of the situation Is
that as fast as the tribes are converted they
arc put beyond the danger Of being cnslaVcd,
since true believer can never become the
slave OF a Mussulman. On the other hand the
AIoscm negroes acquire proud sense Of superb
ority to their heather neighbors, and look
upon them as pariahs and outcasts, thus being
entirely without those motives OF humanity
and brotherhood which Christianity tends to
inspire. There remain to be added religious
wars. taught and practiscd by Islam, and
poygamy with tho consequent degradation Of
woman to tho condition of a chat
tel. While Mr.. Smith believes that
Christianity is UNNECESSARILY superior

McGarige and Nlooney, as infamous band
Of freebootcrs as ever despoiled a patient COM
munity living like lords on the proceeds OF
their robberics; while the number OF lesser
scoundrcls can be counted by the score.
There are undoubtedly some defects in tho
convention signed by Minister Phelps and Lord
Roscbery. The clause relating to embezzlc-
mcnt does not go far enough. Had 1t been
expressed In language similar to that used IN
the convention with Japan which was signed
in April, 1886. it would have been clearer and
more complete. The crime of bribery should
be included in the amendments. Such changes
as the Senate might suggest in the convention
could be easily and quickly made The pubic
is thoroughly aroused by these constantly re-
curing and fast-incrcasing flights from justice,
and since the subject is now in the Scnates
hands il is greatly to be hoped that salts
factory treaty will not long be delayed.

PROTEC7ION AGAINST FUGI7IVE THIEVES.
The fact that an cXtradition treaty between
Great Britain and the United States is still
pending before the Senate has been called to
mind by Senator lIiScock. He has presented
the petition Of company which furnishes
bonds for persons holding places Of trust,
praying that the treaty be ratified, and one Of
the exhibits accompanying the petition shows
that there are now living in Canada American
dcfaultcrs whose thcfts amount to very nearly
S1OOO.OOO. 1t certainly is a rcproach to the
civilization OF the United States and Great
Britain that such brazcn defiance Of law is toll
Grated. There is no room to argue upon tho
question Of the dcsirability Of protecting the
public against cmbezzers. Everybody con-
codes with one accord that measures to tlat
end arc sclf-cvidcnt duty and wonders how
it can be that the Government treats them so
indiifcrcntly.
In the confession Of dcfaultcr Scott the droll
but impressive statement is made that he and
his lawyer actually consulted together so as TO
see how he could avoid all possibility Of arrest
when he reached the Provinces, and he was
legally advised that all he had to do was to
take as much money as he could carry and
keep stiff upper lip" Every hour that il
lost in curing this evil augmcnts the colony OF
knavish exilcs. Already il includes a host Of

he admits that, as yet it has done little, Its
failures he attributes partly to the mistake of
adherng so closely to the coast, where not only
have the missionaries been necdlessly sacrificed
TO the deadly climate, but where the natives
themselves are of an inferior and unpromislng
type. He thinks also that Christianity has
suffered from coming so purely as foreign
and external system of belief from having
been taught in too abstruse a form, and most
of all, from the fearfulIy bad practice of the
majority of its professors known to tho

Ey-SECRETfRY NAMING.

The news Of the death Of cX-Sccrctary Man
ming will be received with genuine regret by
the people at large, without distinction Of
party. There was much in his career that was
typical Of the best side Of American life. lie
began rs poor boy, sweeping the floor and
&ing crrands in an Albany newspaper Office.
Working his way up by industry and prudence,
he became the head Of the establishment and
its principal proprietor, besides occupying many
positions Of trust and honor in the community.
He became "A leader in his party maker Of
Governors and Of one President, and was
eventually made head Of the Treasury Depart
mcnt. the most powerful Office under thc Gov
eminent after that Of the President himself
There is much in his story from which the
young, who have no capital but their hands
and their brains, may take courage.
Mr. Manning was an intense partisan, but he
discharged faithfully and ably the duties 81
the great Office to which he was called without
previous financial experience, except so far as
that could be gained in the presidency Of "A
provincial bank lie was sound upon the great
financial questions Of the day, and deserves
honor for the stand he took respecting tho
coinage Of silver in opposition to a large see
ton of his party. His administration, brief
though il was, will be gratefully remembered
for his adherence to correct financial prin-
cplcs, and for his personal assiduity in the
performance Of his duties. 1t may be said
without much cxaggcration that his fidelity cost
him his life, as his break down was undoubt-
eddy partly due to ovcrwOrk. 1t is now stated
that the sanitary condition Of the Treasury
Department was also largely responsible for
it. In view Of the fact that Secretary Folgcr
broke down under much the same circum-
stances. il might be worth while to ask whether
a Government that is suffering from a surfcit
Of money might not spend a little Of it in pro-
viding public buildings that are not absolutely
dangerous to life.
